paraded alongside the boyfriend by the

“Search for the whereabouts of the
missing Grace Igwe by the police and the
family of the victim yielded positive result
when an unknown caller demanded
N100,000 ransom, which was paid in
parts into the bank account of the
suspect.
“This link was followed by the police in
their investigation until the suspect was
arrested on September 9 at Akpakpava
area in Benin City, Edo State and the
suspect led the police on the rescue of the
victim,”
Oyebade said.
Explaining how he planned the kidnap
with his girlfriend, the man revealed that
Grace, came to him demanding N200,000
and when he said he did not have the
money she pressed for whatever he could
afford. He explained that because of the
pressure and the urgency of the demand
he suspected she had fallen into the
hands of fraudsters who wanted her to
bring the money.
Bright said he asked her whether the
parents were aware of the development
and she said no. From that time he
started making contacts with her parents
to raise the money demanded by the
fraudsters who Grace alleged took her
phone and other valuables until she
returned with the ransom.
The suspect added that when it became
obvious that she was a victim of
fraudsters, he decided to help her raise
the money by making calls and text
messages to her parents and in the
process he was arrested by the police. He
said Grace stayed with him for three
weeks while trying to raise the money.by chibabynaija2
